Common questions

Questions about backup, recovery and continuity

Does Microsoft 365 remove the need for backup?+

Microsoft provides resilient cloud services and retention capabilities, but organisations should assess whether those controls meet their recovery, retention and operational requirements.

How often should recovery be tested?+

The schedule depends on risk and change, but important systems should be tested regularly and after major changes to confirm that recovery remains practical.

Can PCEZ review an existing Veeam environment?+

Yes. Reviews may cover jobs, repositories, retention, alerts, protected workloads, offsite copies and recoverability.
